       WARNING!

+      TLDR; Always put 
+         base-type="org.eclipse.core.runtime.text" 
+      in *every* content type definiton.
+      
+      Longer explanation:
+      
       Do not use  
       base-type="org.eclipse.jdt.core.javaProperties"
-      This causes reconciling of *any* properties file
+      this causes reconciling of *any* properties file
       as if it was a boot properties file.
+      
+      Similarly
+      base-type="org.eclipse.core.runtime.xml" 
+      causes reconciling of *any* XML file
+      as if it was a Spring xml config file.
+      
+      Also to avoid some suspected bug/weirdness in Lsp4e
+      which I do not really understand, a base-type must allways 
+      be added. Therefore the only possible choice 
+      that makes everything work is
+      "org.eclipse.core.runtime.text".
+
